Baptiste, my grandfather, passed away on 3 April after a stroke. He was 63 years old. He was the heart of our family and had no savings or life insurance. The funeral home has given us a quote of $3,800 and the cemetery needs payment before the burial date of 14 April. I have already used what I had for the hospital bills. My family is scattered, and many of us are out of work. We want Baptiste to have a dignified farewell. Any help at all means a lot, and so do your prayers. The funds will be paid directly to the funeral home, and I'll share the receipt. Where the $3,800 goes: • Funeral home services and casket: $2,550 • Cemetery plot and burial fees: $870 • Transport of the deceased: $175 • Memorial gathering for the family: $205 Thanks for reading all this. - Geneviève

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Geneviève.

    • Geneviève Chloé BlancOwnerAnswerAddress verifiedPhoto verified

      Sure. The biggest one is funeral home services and casket, $2,550. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. It helps to be asked.

  • Patrick Garcia

    Good luck. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care

    • Kathleen P. De Leon

      I hope things turn around soon. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care

      • Nikhil E. Kapoor

        Wishing you peace, Geneviève. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted.

        • Andreea Denisa Barbu

          you're not alone, Geneviève. Looking forward to the next update.

          • Rick Peters

            Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Lyon!
